What is ansible and what makes it stand out from the rest of the configuration management tools?
Answer / Rahul Jain
Ansible is an open-source configuration management, orchestration, and automation tool. It stands out due to its simplicity (no agents are required on managed hosts), idempotence (it ensures that every run leaves your systems in exactly the desired state), and agentlessness nature which makes it lightweight compared to other tools like Puppet or Chef.
